You show me another player that has allegedly shown something, as you say Reiff has, that DIDN'T get a chance to start before the end of the year. Show ANY OTHER first or second round player drafted by Mayhew that DIDN'T get their due for any reason other than an injury.

I think it's Schwartz's ignorance that keeps young guys off the field even if they're better than the current starter. As Joe stated, Fairley wasn't started over Williams when he should have since the day he was healthy. Schwartz's ignorance is the real problem here.

No, no, no, no... I want an example of someone that was held back THAT WAS STARTER CALIBER, as you claim Reiff is. Not playing 3rd-5th round guys is not what we're talking about here. We're talking about holding back a first round draft pick, that's allegedly ready to play LT, despite the fact that he couldn't see the field as a starting caliber OG last year.

I don't think we should have "invented" a position for him, I'm saying HE COULDN'T BEAT OUT other starters. That's the whole point. Reiff wasn't held back, HE WASN'T TALENTED ENOUGH TO START.

Not playing "developmental" guys that everyone knows aren't as good as the starters is one thing. Not playing someone that YOU say is starter caliber is a whole other issue.

Fairly is not a good example. He was injured, missed some of camp/pre-season, had surgery, and STILL played more games his rookie year than Reiff did. He was STILL "worked into" the lineup more than Reiff.

Like I said, Reiff was held back by the coaching staff. YOU say it's because they hold back all rookies, I say it's because he wasn't talented enough. I've proven that they're willing to play and start talent when they deserve it, you've proven nothing to the contrary.

Re: Lions' Riley Reiff will start at left tackle after all

I say Reiff was held back for a number of reasons.

One - he was not viewed as a better player than the starters. That isn't necessarily a knock on him. Backus was better than most gave him credit for, and Cherilus actually played pretty decently last year. As for moving him to guard, that is another position he would have to have learned, and that's not as easy as it sounds for NFL players.

Two - economics. Peterman, Cherilus and Backus were all making starter money. Reiff is not making as much as they did last year. The Lions weren't going to pay all that money to a backup, so Reiff was left as the backup. I think even if he was good enough to be judged somewhat better than Peterman, the bigger contract keeps Peterman as the starter.

Three - it is well known that Cunningham HATES playing rookies. Schwartz and Linehan don't have that reputation. However, I will say that it seems if all things are equal, the veteran gets the nod over the rookie on this team. Is that because of experience or their contract? I can't say.

Agree with this.

I'd also add that imo continuity is more important on the oline than any other unit. So comparisons with titus, fairley, pett's etc playing time in their rookie season isn't fair - they are on units where rotation is much more natural/commonplace. I think joe makes a good point, too - given what they did with Reiff, they arguably did a fair bit (for an olineman, when you have 2 vets playing solidly at his position) to get him into the lineup.

I wouldn't read anything into how Reiff was used last year to conclude he wasn't ready to start then, let alone not ready to start this year.

That said, I agree with Legend: I think the staff should have used him more at the end of a lost season to try and get some positive confirmation either way.

the only thing you have proven is that you are inconsistant. I cant believe you actually put that Pettigrew is "tallented enough to start", after all the hate you have spread about him, and how badly you want him out of town.

If you dont understand where I'm comming from by now, then I dont know what to tell you.

There has been nothing inconsistent about any of my positions anywhere on here.

I think Pett sucks, I think he drops too many balls, and I want him gone, but he is a starting caliber TE and he's the best we got. Pett would start on 10-15 teams in this league, maybe more. I don't like him because I don't like inconsistency.

I like M2s argument that makes Reiff a "special case," but I disagree that plugging him in at OG would have disrupted much, IF he was good. Reiff started 1/2 a season at Iowa at OG. It's not like he's never done it. Teams have players step in on the line without any drop off regularly. When things get confusing is when there are multiple replacements, like we're going to have next year (which will probably be your guys next excuse when our OL sucks).

Re: Lions' Riley Reiff will start at left tackle after all

Our O-line WILL probably look a little rough, especially if Nagy starts over Dom. thats a lot of new faces on one squad. it will probably take 6-8 weeks for them to "gel" and work well as a unit. Ill hold off on any judgemenet untill the 2nd half of the season as to who needs to be replaced.

Where did I say Reiff was a special case? I just stated that I believed there was several possible reasons why he was not put in more as a rookie. None of them, or all of them, may play a part. As for him having played 1/2 a season at OG in college, so what? It doesn't mean he would have been a "plug and play" at the position in the NFL ranks. NFL playbooks are notoriously more complex than college playbooks. If, and only if, the type of offensive system used at Iowa was very similar to what the Lions run, would it have made the adjustment easier.

For all we know wjb, you may be right. Reiff may just not be that good and the Lions could have made yet another draft pick mistake. However, it is IMPOSSIBLE to know that due to what occurred last season. His one showing during the season wasn't enough to judge whether he will be good or bad. His NOT playing during the season can't be used to determine that either. That being the case, Aaron Rodgers sucks because he basically didn't see the field for three years. He was picked in the same round, at about the same spot. Other rookie QBs start right away, so it can be a natural assumption that he is no good because he didn't. It doesn't matter that he was playing behind a HOFer QB. While Backus is not a HOF left tackle, he wasn't a slouch either. I criticized him more than once on these boards, but that doesn't mean he always played poorly.

I think everyone should reserve a judgement until Reiff shows himself to be whatever he was destined to be as an NFL player.

If Pettigrew were cut or traded, who would replace him at TE?

I remember the end of the 'Nineties (back on the Lions email listserv, before there were discussion forums) when everyone (myself included) was either a GROWNer or a GROWLer -- Get Rid of Wayne Now! (mid-season) or Get Rid of Wayne Later (end of the season). So we got rid of Wayne and...replaced him with Bobby ("Elmer Fudd") Ross.

If we get rid of a player or coach, who is to say that the replacement will be any better? Who do you have in mind to replace Pettigrew?

Pride. Misplaced Pride, but Pride Nonetheless. Only real explanation. THey were trying to win 1 of those 8 games, and putting in the rooks is "capitulating" even if its better for the team. It was a wasted opportunity.

Id have to agree with this. A lot of us would probably say we might as well play some of our rookies because playoffs are literally out of the question, so what are we losing? Im actually one of them. But like DJ-B said, its probably pride. Coaches would probably get fried if they ever admitted their season was done.

Well I'm certain that's a part of it, but the other side of that coin is player motivation too. While we would all like to say the players give their all no matter what, we as lions fans have witnessed personally players giving up at the end of the season. How is a player expected to give their all when they see starters getting benched just to see what the backup is capable of. While I don't necessarily agree with not playing the younger guys when there is only two weeks left and the playoffs are out of the picture, you can't deny the momentum boost the team got from a late win streak 3 years ago. We started off hot the next year and rode that momentum into the playoffs. I personally think the reason Swartz and co. Decided to keep trying to win each game at the end of last season was an attempt to repeat that.
